ok

#

@trail bear so basically you get any empty object?

#

Can u log it in console and send the output?

#

you dont need intents for channels right?

dusky karma May 6, 2022, 10:38 PM

#

you need guild_channel intents

midnight carbon May 6, 2022, 10:39 PM

#

the intents integer is very suspicious

dusky karma May 6, 2022, 10:39 PM

#

and guild_text for text

#

#

according to https://discord.com/developers/docs/topics/gateway#list-of-intents GUILDS intent is 1 << 0 which is = 1 meaning that he doesnt actually have that intent cause his intent integer is an even number

#

oh damn haha sorry didn’t see this

#

yeah I have avoided pretty much anything mentioning guilds

#

I set up a bot, configured its intent, configured an oath url, added it to a server, and then set the bot role permissions for the server and channel to match the bot oauth config and intent:

#

#

so I need to do some reading about guild channels in addition to this?

#

Manage channels

trail bear May 6, 2022, 10:48 PM

#

trying now! ty

dusky karma May 6, 2022, 10:48 PM

#

I think?

#

Idk I am not sure

midnight carbon May 6, 2022, 10:49 PM

#

i think you guys are mixing gateway intents and permissions, permissions of the bot are the thing that is used when the bot is being added and thats what his role contains, while intents are like the things you're requesting the discord api to allow you to do

#

or something along those lines

dusky karma May 6, 2022, 10:49 PM

#

yeah

#

I was confused about that window anyway

midnight carbon May 6, 2022, 10:50 PM

#

id recommend writing the intents like this because of the readabiility

dusky karma May 6, 2022, 10:50 PM

#

midnight carbon id recommend writing the intents like this because of the readabiility

I did 🙂

midnight carbon May 6, 2022, 10:50 PM

#

dusky karma I did 🙂

😛 ik youve already sent the image

#

talking to tonbu

#

kinda wondering what his intents integer allowed let me check real quick

dusky karma May 6, 2022, 10:51 PM

#

😂

trail bear May 6, 2022, 10:52 PM

#

I couldn’t work out how to translate the intents I need into those flags, I just want it to post those rich media thingies

#

it worked fine on the old API 😢

midnight carbon May 6, 2022, 10:53 PM

#

GUILD_MESSAGE_REACTIONS, GUILD_MESSAGE_TYPING and DIRECT_MESSAGE_TYPING xd

#

wait i think the guide explains it well

#

yeah I’m going to pause this and double down on the docs

midnight carbon May 6, 2022, 10:53 PM

#

check this out

trail bear May 6, 2022, 10:54 PM

#

thank you both for helping!

dusky karma May 6, 2022, 10:55 PM

#

No problem

trail bear May 6, 2022, 10:55 PM

#

this is basically an RSS to discord channel bot, I had a hacked together version working a few months back on the old API and I’m revisiting hoping to add some better video and image support by picking them out of the content of the RSS entries

#

nothing too fancy but a fun project

#

I might stick it on github

trail bear May 7, 2022, 12:01 AM

#

you guys were right I deleted the integer and I’m finally seeing a populated list of channels and no errors on my .send()
